Ben Greenfield (speaker) discusses the global burden of alcohol misuse, citing figures (400 million with alcohol use disorder vs 80 million with non-alcohol drug use disorders), a 23% rise in alcohol-related deaths since March 2020, and ~7,000 daily deaths from alcohol-related diseases. He announces a live event in Melbourne on June 26, 2025 (bengreenfieldlive.com/australia2025) and interviews James Swanick about his alcohol-free journey and a neuroscience-based Alcohol Free Lifestyle program claiming a 98% reduction in alcohol use in a study. They discuss behavior-change principles (avoid 'don't' framing, focus on lifestyle and gratitude), personal outcomes from abstinence (weight loss, career gains), and a 2022 UK study cited linking one drink per day to reduced gray/white matter in middle-aged adults.
